"You as a pupil will be placed in the centre. Personalised education means that the school and the teachers start from and adapt themselves to your goals, your ambitions and your potentials ....The fundamental principle behind our method of learning is the conviction that all pupils are different and that they learn in different ways and at different rates, and that it is the school´s task to meet these differences."

This quote is not from a future scenario planning exercise, it's a description of a school, actually 22 schools with 10,000 students, but as you may have guessed from the spelling, they're not in the US. The chain is Kunskapsskolan in Sweden where a national voucher system supports innovative schools. Their web site is a pretty good description of where learning is headed--at least in places where leadership is focused more on kids and the future than adults and the past.
